The 6th annual Summer Sizzler 5K/10K takes place on August 10th, and Fleet Feet Sports Chico is delighted to announce this year's sponsors and beneficiaries. Coming in as Gold Sponsors of this favorite summer event are Madison Bear Garden, Bemer, Sleep Number, Built for Bodywork, C&M Automotive, and The Printed Image. A&J Party Center, and Lifeline join as Silver Sponsors. "We are extremely grateful for the support of our events by this great group of locally-owned businesses", said Alan Rice, Co-owner of Fleet Feet, "It's good to know that our long time sponsors like the Bear and C&M Automotive see value in what we offer".

The Summer Sizzler is billed as the hottest race around and is seen as a right of passage by many of the runners in Chico and the surrounding area. With its famous awards ceremony and after-party held at the Madison Bear Garden each year, the event is a popular one on the Chico footrace calendar. Beneficiaries of this year's event have also been announced, with North Valley Animal Disaster Group and Wings of Eagles making the cut once again. "These two groups do amazing work in the community and we are very pleased to be in a position to help them out by donating part of the proceeds from the Summer Sizzler", said Susan Zepernick, Co-owner and Race Director for Fleet Feet.
